Next Big Earthquake In Less Than 40 Hours !

BTW, even Russian and Chinese scientists have had to get degrees in what they research. What is your degree on that you want to claim you
don't want to believe what the Russians, the Chinese have to say?... and i am CERTAIN that you will TRY to make some similar excuse for every
scientist who wants to contradict you...

Puterman of Phage may not have degrees in this field of study, but this guy does:

So my question is " Is there a link between solar flares and earthquakes"

Mr. Vidale has recently signed up as a member and been posting in a few threads,
Quakeswatch 2012 being one of those threads.

The papers you have linked refer to seismic precursors, which are discreet measurable events caused by early earthquake processes, not outside
influences on the internal workings of earthquakes.

Now, I can conceive of CMEs possibly having triggering effect on a fault that was near to rupturing by itself, because even refrigerator magnets will
move around on a table if you bring them close enough to one another.

However, since the number of quakes which occur on a daily basis does not decline during periods of solar minimum, I would have to say that the effect
is negligible at best.

I like his prediction because it's no wuwu.
It's the freakin Sun. When the Sun erupts he has a feeling
that it's related to quakes. Just the size difference alone
between the Sun and Earth is enough to open my mind
to the possibilities. How much bigger than Earth was that CME?
It seems crazier to me to say absolutely, that there is 'no chance
that giant explosion caused the Earth to shake a bit.'

Interestingly enough, today March 9th, the sun just let loose a class M7 directed at earth due to arrive on the 11th so if there were any truth to
CME's and earthquakes we could have another biggie on Sunday exactly one year to the day of the Fukushima incident

If CME's and earthquakes have
nothing in common, we should be just fine

ETA...Sorry it was an m6 class...

ETA once again...I thought I read that the CME in 2011 was an M class but seems it was an X3, still where I live, the day aint done yet.
